Directed by Herman Hoffman, The Battle of Gettysburg was a movie short from 1955 that took viewers through the bulk of this long battle between the North and South in the Civil War.
Shows like this feel me with awe, and sometimes I cry just because the emotion of it …

Some people might say that the 2006 film starring Jack Black called “Nacho Libre” was rather ridiculous and pointless. I for one, am not that person. While I can see why others would come to the conclusion of naming this film “pointless” I think that they are missing what …

This is a great movie which has all the right things, such as a good story and a great director as well as a wonderful cast. The director of “The Inside Man”, Spike Lee managed to produce a good movie in just 39 days of shooting.
“The Inside Man” is …

This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …

Pan’s Labyrinth, directed by Guillermo del Toro is rated R by the Potion Picture Association of America for graphic violence and some language. The original release date for this movie was October 11, 2006 for Spain audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Fantasy/Thriller and stars Ivana Baguero …

I watched it last weekend with my dad and my boyfriend and we …

What is there to not love about a movie with a dynamite cast, amazingly relatable and entertaining plot, and an ending that leaves viewers feeling warm and fuzzy and hopeful for their own futures. If you haven’t already guessed, I am talking about the 1988 film, “Mystic Pizza” starring …

Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …

I watched a couple episodes of this show called How I met your mother. It has been playing on Lifetime and I got to watch a couple episodes of it. The first episode I watched was alright but the second episode I watched was really funny. It surprised me …

Red Eye is a suspense thriller movie that is about a man, Jackson, who is on a path to kill a government official. Jackson wants Lisa to help him kill this person. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? The part about this movie that I did not get is …

Devon Aoki was sexy in this movie as Princess Kazumi (I wonder why she wasn’t mentioned as ‘hime’ princess term in Japanese). Okay, for short, this story is about ‘Karate’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Martial Arts’. I would say: Fascinating, because the main roles were played by females. …

I absolutely loved Henry Winkler when he portrayed the Fonze on Happy Days. As a movie star, I think he’s OK in a supporting role. When it comes to carrying a movie, like he did in Night Shift, he’s just not that good.
The idea behind Night Shift was a …

In 1980, Neil Simon’s play, Seems Like Old Times, was brought to the big screen with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn playing the lead roles of ex-married couple Nick and Glenda. Glenda has remarried, and her husband is moving up in governmental circles. The husband, Ira Parks, …

Role Models made me laugh like crazy. I watched with a group of friends and we were basically just making a “wild guess” that this movie is going to work out. We were actually wanting to watch another movie show, but this one was available so it was …

I am reviewing The Speckled Band, a Sherlock Holmes adventure from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, produced in 1983 by Granada Television. In this episode, Holmes is employed by a Miss Stoner, who is frightened for her life. Her sister and she had lived with …

Candy is an Australian production featuring some of this country’s finest, yet underrated actors. We are being told the story of a happy, fulfilled couple who goes through hell due to its addiction to heroin. Candy represents the character wonderfully played by Abbie Cornish and the drug with the …

No episode better showcases the out of date parodies of Tripping the Rift than this episode: “Power to the Peephole” which bases its entire B plot (or is it the C plot) around the whole Monica Lewinsky debacle. Not just a joke or two, but it is actually …

Up is the latest installment in the power packed Pixar animated movies and this one does not fail.
Up is the story of a man who fell in love and married his childhood sweetheart. They both loved adventures and dreamed of moving to this legendary place called Paradise Falls. We …

I’m not a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to like “Family Guy”, but eventually grew tired of it to the point where even the early seasons aren’t as enjoyable as I remember them. “The Cleveland Show” was just awful from the start and, while I’ve …

I loved this musical. It was modern, fun, dramatic, realist, sad, and humerous all at once. I cried at certain parts but even the sad parts were incredible. The actors did an amazing job in recreating the play that usually shows on Broadway. Their voice …

The best way to describe “27 Dresses” is a similarity to Jennifer Lopez movie “The Wedding Planner” only much, much better. Interesting to know is that the actress, Judy Greer had supporting roles in both movies. Although it is a romantic comedy, “27 Dresses” is an entertaining movie addressed …

This movie stars Micheal Keaton, and I’m pretty sure that it’s classified as a horror flick, perhaps more accurately “thriller”.
The film focuses around EVP (electronic voice phenomenon). Basically, it’s where one records “white noise” from a television set and/or radio, perhaps asking questions they hope to be answered. …

I’ve always found that, when in doubt, a movie based around a fairy tale will always fill in nicely. In the case of Ella Enchanted, you have a good story complete with a few catchy song and dance numbers.
I have liked Anne Hathaway as an actress since I first …

I would not necessarily call myself a die hard slasher movie fanatic, but it is safe to say I love me some Freddy Kreuger. Of all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies I have seen, and believe me I have seen them at least three lifetimes over, I would have …

There’s a lot of memorable aspects to The Glass Bottom Boat, most notable of which is its star, Doris Day. Some of the time, she’s a mermaid for her father, who gives a tour of Catalina Island waters with his glass bottom boat, hence the name. Day …

Cris Johson, this young man since birth has extraordinary talent. Cris can predict what will befall him in the future, exactly two minutes to the front. However, this does not apply for a woman believed to be his life partner, Liz. Short stories, Liz and Cris met and they …

I rented the Twilight movie finally yesterday to watch it and see what all the hype was about. I have read the book so I knew the plot line already. I was mostly watching to see how they took the story to the big screen.
The first thing …

This is a wonderful movie for the entire family. It’s based on the classic book “Treasure Island” except it stars the Muppets: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzy Bear and all the other characters you love. Tim Curry also does a superb performance as Long John Silver. In …

There is a reason why this DVD is not rated. It is because the sex and adult situations in this film are so intense that it had to be rated that way. I know you’re wondering what kind of filth would be involved in a movie titled …

After reading the book The Bonfire Of The Vanities by Tom Wolfe, I was eager to see the film adaptation. However after watching it I wish I never bothered. The book describes the racial tension of New York in the 1980s and …

I have been dying to watch this movie ever since I saw its trailer in the movie house a few weeks ago. The movie was about a Chihuahua and I saw some of the “casts” as well like some pugs and other kind of dogs so I got interested …

The Hills Have Eyes takes place in the middle of the desert in the Western United States. It stars Aaron Stanford and is a very exciting film.
The story behind the Hills Have Eyes is very interesting. Back when nuclear bombs were being tested in the deserts of the United …

Rudy is, in my opinion, tied for first with Remember the Titans as the greatest football movie of all time. Rudy is a movie that tugs on every emotion you have. The film draws us in and it has to do with the amazing film making. …

This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …

While we were in Arlington Texas, my son and I had to find a movie theater, there is just so much walking you can do and we just wanted to relax for the evening. We found a theater that was around twenty minutes from the Sheraton that we …

This movie doesn’t really make much effort in building on the original, save for making the death sequences even more gruesome than its predecessor.
We open up on a new bunch of protagonists, this time lead by precognitive Kimberly who halts a stream of traffic after having a vision of …

When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …

Gridiron Gang, directed by Phil Joanou is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some startling scenes of violence, mature thematic material and language. The original release date was September 15, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/Sport and stars …

Truman with Jim Carrey and Ed Harris.
This was a different kind of movie that had me expecting the slapstick humor of which Jim Carrey built his career, but I was sadly disappointed.
There are few effective comedic actors in the industry and Carrey is one of them. …

“Amusement” is one of those horror films that you have to watch with few expectations. I went into the movie with an open mind. I liked the fact that the film was broken up into parts, sections that would ultimately culminate into something that I could fuse …

9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …

Little Women is a movie produced by Columbia Pictures. It is about a mother raising four daughters alone while their father is off fighting in the Civil War. It shows how these four s grow up into beautiful young women. Their mother Marmee and Aunt …

After watching a bunch of ‘chick flicks’ I actually liked, I figured there would be no harm in renting The Holiday. Boy was I wrong.
This has got to be the longest, most boring film I’ve seen this year.
The movie is about two women, one American and one British, who …

Made in 1995, this animated film features the vocal talents of Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, and Bob Hoskins, among others. It’s also based on a true story, very loosely based on a true story mind you.
Though there are many talented, well-known actors who lent their talent and names …

I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …

This would be a very great and amazing watch for those of you whom are fans of Kirsten Dunst and Simon Pegg, for the movie star and feature them. I managed to watch this on a free pass and I could totally understand the plot.
Working and living in a …

The first time I saw the movie “Darkman” was before I had cable television and I used to go over to one of my relatives house to watch television sometimes, especially on summer holidays when I did not have anywhere else to be or anything to do. However, at …

I can’t remember the last time I sat through a silent movie. Aside from the Mel Brooks’ flick, Silent Movie, which actually had one spoken word in it, I believe it was back in the 70’s when I sat through an authentic silent film. Well, I caught …
